This year, TD Bank Financial Group is pleased to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to obtain our first Accountability Report. In this document we present important information about our efforts to address the things that matter to all our community stakeholders, and, in turn, to us.

At TD Bank Financial Group, we strive to create value for our shareholders, offer diverse financial services for our customers, provide rewarding careers for our employees, demonstrate exemplary ethical standards, and improve the quality of life in our communities. Many of our activities target longer-term needs that we believe must be addressed now to ensure success tomorrow.

We’re committed to this forward-looking approach because it matters to our stakeholders: shareholders want long-term value, customers want to achieve their financial goals, and employees want to manage their changing personal and professional lives. The future also matters to all Canadians as they contemplate the health of our shared society.

As beneficiary of, and contributor to Canadian society, we recognize that we have the ability and a responsibility to help support the social, cultural, economic and environmental enrichment of our communities. Highlighted in the 2002 Accountability Report are some of our efforts over the past year. To obtain a copy, please visit our web site at www.td.com after March 15 or call (416) 308-6371.

The Future Matters...

To Canadians
Learn how we are sharing our leadership, expertise and resources to support the vitality and economic development of our communities. Our sponsorship of the TD Forum on Canada’s Standard of Living generated a practical debate on Canada’s economic future. Recognizing that Canada’s future is closely linked to the need for dynamic and healthy cities, we published research designed to promote discussion and awareness of urban policy issues. Through the donation of their time and expertise, our employees deliver presentations and resources to ensure consumers and business owners are informed about today’s varied and complex financial marketplace. In addition, numerous other initiatives are aimed at fostering financial strength in all our communities.
